Fastener firm grows despite Irish foes

But industrial fastenings manufacturer and distributor TR Southern Fasteners, based in Mallow, Ireland, is bucking this trend with the business reporting over 35% growth over the last two years. Key to this success, the company claims, is local customer care and service. As part of the TR Fastenings group, the company's service is supported by extensive global resources and manufacturing operations in the UK and Asia. This combination has allowed TR Southern Fasteners to supply a vast range of fasteners and associated components to small, medium and large Irish manufacturers and engineering subcontractors while meeting each individual company's needs. Branch manager Dara Horgan explained: "Our business growth is due to the service, support and loyalty that we provide our customers. We pride ourselves on the relationships we build with them, offering customers individual solutions that fit their business needs. Tailoring vendor management solutions to meet our customers' requirements, we are able to streamline their efficiency and productivity thus increasing our clients' profitability."
